Restaurant ambiance is nice, and staff were friendly. Wish the olives were served warm, they would have been so much better. Pizzas were good but felt very overpriced, especially when compared to prices of other reputable pizza spots in the city. Came to celebrate an engagement with a party of 14, and we were charged $4 per person “cake cutting fee” … seriously? $56 to cut our cake for us? That seemed excessive.

The place was pretty packed on a Wednesday night but I was able to get a table. The beer, salad and pizza were delicious!! All of my choices were recommendations from my servers and she was great. I’ll be coming back here for sure.

I recently came here for my birthday for the first time and I had an amazing experience. The staff accommodated so well when it came to my allergies and really made me feel comfortable eating the food because most restaurants I don’t feel comfortable enough to trust the cross contamination and being able to remove something from the dish. I loved my Shirley temple along with my ezzo pizza that tasted great. Everyone loved everything, I definitely recommend you coming here. I will be coming back soon for sure.

Really amazing atmosphere. Low lighting, very classy and rustic. The place does have a chlorine pool smell. Beverage sizes seem pretty small and are also pretty expensive. The pizza is delicious; I got the Sweet Tony pizza and it AMAZING. Highly recommend trying it!

Came here for the first time and honestly only have great things to say! The service was fantastic and the food was incredible. We ordered the pasta of the day and two pizzas — the Ezzo and the Clarice — and both were absolutely delicious. Everything tasted so fresh and full of flavor.

We finished with the tiramisu, and even my boyfriend (who doesn’t usually like tiramisu) loved it! The ambiance was warm, cozy, and comfortable — great lighting and not too loud, so we could actually talk without shouting.

Can’t wait to come back — highly recommend!!!

Visited midweek without a reservation and was seated quickly. Staff were warm and welcoming. We tried The Beekeeper mocktail, which was refreshing with a subtle twist, not too overpowering and complimented the food. For mains, we had the Benjamin Button and the Spicy Clarice pizzas. Both tasted good but leaned on the drier side and didn’t feel indulgent. The lemon and berries cake was pleasant, sweet and fresh. The cozy romantic atmosphere and thoughtful touches like a baby changing table in the bathroom made the visit enjoyable overall, though the food felt more good than great.

We visited Giulia on Elgin Street this past sunny Sunday and sat outside—perfect weather, perfect vibe. The starters were outstanding: hot, crispy sourdough with fragrant olive oil and rich cheese that hit all the right notes.

We shared two of their rustic pizzas (called pies on the menu), and both were excellent. The crust was crisp, flavorful, and beautifully done.

Dessert was the surprise star—finished with a drizzle of olive oil that made it absolutely divine. A must-visit for anyone craving elevated Italian fare in Ottawa.
